Doesn't help that Hawthorn are beating Geelong now. **** Hawthorn

Yes **** Hawthorn, allthough i think cats are on the drop, so if we get through today LOOKOUT. It's a really good draw we got. Cmon Bombers!!

 

[WhiteLionFeva]

Good luck to the Bombers tonight. Hope for you and him that Paddy plays well. Looking forward to the Brad Scott presser too.

Geelong, because Hawthorn are better.

Geelong, because Hawthorn are better.

Same. I'm just bored of seeing hawthorn Geelong and Sydney in the finals tbh. Let's see how many we can knock out.

Gotta beat North first.

 

[Jam123]

Just under 7 hours to go.

Win today and I think we've put the mediocre Essendon of the last decade past us. We play our best footy as underdogs with nothing to lose and that will be the case next week should we beat North.

Can we just win?

 

[Halftimehero]

**** Carlton

Gotta beat North first.

0 is an option.. Let's just hope it's not the outcome!

 

[Jam123]

North's season started off with a loss to Essendon and could potentially end with a loss to Essendon.

Here is an omen for us, in round 1 against the roos I backed a horse at moone valley at half time at Etihad called Text n Hurley and it got up, it runs again today in about 20 minutes at moonee valley and starts favorite. Go you good thing.

I'm a ten minute walk from Moonee Valley Racecourse...I'll run down there now and barrack hard for your horse.

 

[fishardansin]

Anyone else hopefull that Ryder, Watson, Heppell, Myers, Zaka and Hocking will smash the midfield?

TBell to play mostly deep forward and JD to play as CHF. Chapman and Goddard to kick 6-10 goals between them. Paddy will have spells up forward and create enough havoc that we'll not have to swing Hurls up forward.

I'm hopeful that Essendon has been only playing one quarter for the last 6 weeks because they've been training very solidly. The fact that the first quarter has been rubbish each time indicates they're sluggish. They'll be fresh tonight and smash it.

*I'm not really confident. I'm very worried that their outside speed will catch us out and only having two KPDs, sorry Steiny you're not that big, will allow them to kick long.

 

[Its Manbearpig]

Anyone else counting down?

Get on it

Yes I am seated in front of the clock looking up every 10 seconds and procrastinating on assignments

Got a bet in that race as well, Reckless Assassin, thought it was sort of appropriate given my mood the last few days, so the Assassin & Hurls to fill the quinella will do me

Wha u call me?

 

[mike14]

Get on it

I just did. If it doesn't get up my wife is going to want a word with you....

 

[Bomberblitzer]

Will be there with my North supporting mate amongst the 7 other Kangaroo supporters. I hope they go home holding their heads in their hands, cursing Jimmy Hird's name.

WHO ARE WE!!!!????

[Jobe Watson]

How much money are North going to earn off the back of our 50k+ ticket sales?

 

[Halftimehero]

What a cat

It ran like utter shit, so therefore ...

 

[Kakkle]

Why do I get the feeling this will be the match ups?


Hibberd - Black
Hooker - Drew
Steinberg - Brown

Hurley to play forward.


Grima will be the interesting one. Got injured last week, and has barely played any football.
